Shun Premier 2 Piece Carving Set

Overview

There are a few certainties surrounding the holiday season. You will be stressed. You are not going to sleep. You will be annoyed by your in-laws. Finally, you are going to need a quality carving set (...to carve the turkey). The Shun Premier 2-Piece Carving Set features the two tools needed to dissect your holiday turkey or roast: a 9.5" slicing knife and 6.5" carving fork. The slicing knife, also called the carving knife, is a great length for larger birds and roasts, allowing you to make a clean slice in a single stroke. The ultra-sharp edge is double-beveled and features a 16° cutting angle on both sides. The blade falls right through the meat, locking in the juices and flavor. The carving fork stabilizes the meat for a precise and safe cut, and will also assist in serving the meat. The hammered finish act as hollow grounds, creating air pockets between the meat and knife so nothing at all sticks. Handcrafted in Japan. Lifetime Warranty. Shun item number TDMS0200.

Shun Premier Series Features

In case you didn’t know that Shun uses handcrafted techniques in homage of their ancestors, the remarkable Premier Series screams it. Every one of these double-beveled knives has a powerful VG-10 core and is then clad with 16 layers on each side of softer steel (SUS410/SUS431) which is folded, welded, grinded, and then polished. This form of
Kasumi style knife making, similar to pattern Damascus, is also featured in the Classic and Ken Onion Series. What really brings out the handcrafted nature of this line is the hand-hammered tsuchime finish which actually serves a purpose, other than looking awesome. They act as little hollow-ground cavities, creating tiny air pockets that prevent food from sticking and allows for proper and precise cuts. You’ll also notice a wavy line near the edge called a harmon where the core and clad meet, similar to post-tempered samurai swords. Yeah, that’s right. Samurai Swords.

About Shun

Shun in Japanese actually translates to “at the peak of perfection,” and no words could better describe this outstanding company. Renowned for their traditional knife making style and aesthetic design, the highly skilled artisans at the Kai Corporation (the parent company of “Shoon”) have been making blades of the highest quality in homage of the legendary sword smiths of Seki, Japan for over 100 years. Each and every knife is handmade, from beginning to end, requiring at least 100 meticulous steps along the way. It is out of this respect and admiration towards their ancestors, coupled with advanced technology and materials, that Shun produces basically pieces of art that also happen to be razor-sharp knives.
